The latest poll was taken between the 18th and 20th. Two of those days occurred after Trump’s McCain comments. Regardless, Trump not only held on to first place, he surged to 28% support. Bush came in second with just 14%. Walker came in third with 13%.
Trump is not only in first place, he earns twice the support of second place.
The poll also asked registered Republicans to make a second choice pick. Trump earned 10%, Walker 12%, Bush 6%.
When you combine the two numbers, Trump sits at a commanding 38%. Walker is his closest competitor with just 25%.
Trump’s comments do appear to have damaged his favorability ratings with Republican voters, which dipped from 64% to 53%. His unfavorable rating climbed from 27% to 42%.
Nevertheless, when Republicans were polled, Trump tied in favorability with McCain himself. Both sit at 57%.
